Coastal Grooves

7digitalWhat we said:As you might expect of someone who released an EP entitled ‘I Wrote And Recorded This In Less Than Five Hours’, Dev Hynes is the prolific sort. Indeed, in the past four years he’s collaborated with The Chemical Brothers, written/produced forFlorence + the Machine, Solange Knowles and Theophilus London, and even published his own comic, all the while releasing indie-folk material under the moniker Lightspeed Champion. Honestly, where he’s found the time to cram in a second solo project, we have no idea. But with a host of laid-back, sun-dappled, synth-embellished grooves laid out on his debut as Blood Orange, we’re exceedingly glad he has.
